Hey there!

I am a photographer in La Jolla, California. I specialize in relaxed portraits, weddings inspired by romance and outdoor lifestyle. My style is easy going and unobtrusive which allows me to capture you at your very best!

I started my photography business 18 years ago, so I have seen trends in the wedding industry come and go. My goal is to create timeless images that will bring you back to what you were feeling in that moment, showing your best self! I like bright colors, blue skies and crisp Black & Whites that will never go out of style!

Thank you for checking out my work!
I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Marriage Proposal | Louise & Ken | Windansea Beach

A surfboard marriage proposal! Ken contacted me about doing a photo shoot with his girlfriend Louise before he leaves for Medical School. They met at UCSD and Louise is now a chemist. Should I comment on their great chemistry? 😉 The unsuspecting Louise did a great job on styling wardrobe for their “photo shoot experience”.

Note the surfers walking in the background. Ken asked them to “get out of the way!”
They flipped their surfboards shocking Louise, then Ken flipped open the box!

She said YES!
Happiness

Congratulations Louise & Ken!

I couldn’t be happier knowing my sister is with a man who brings out all the wonderful sides of her. Yesterday when I was looking through all those old pictures of us all before you two dated, I couldn’t help but smile at how much fun we even had then. Now when I see these pictures, I see the same happiness but a deep love.

Love you both so much. Christina
